Here’s a look at how much you can expect to pay for your tree this year to determine if you can fit it into your holiday budget.

How Much Will Live Trees Cost in 2022?

The median cost for Christmas trees was $81 in 2020, Fortune reported, and costs were about 5% higher last year, according to Consumer Reports, making the median price for a live Christmas tree $85 in 2021.

According to a recent survey of 55 wholesale growers of real Christmas trees across the U.S. conducted by the Real Christmas Tree Board, the majority of growers plan to raise their prices by 5% to 15% this year. That means you can expect to pay around $89 to $94 for a live Christmas tree for the current holiday season. Of course, prices will vary depending on the size and quality of your tree, as well as where in the U.S. you live.
